A resolution supporting the observation of National Trafficking and Modern Slavery Prevention Month during the period beginning on January 1, 2026, and ending on February 1, 2026, to raise awareness of, and opposition to, human trafficking and modern slavery.

The Senate backs a month against human trafficking — no cash, no new rules, and no change you would feel.

The details

You would see no change in your daily life. No money is spent, no rule changes, and no rights shift. The Senate is backing a month set aside to raise awareness of human trafficking and modern slavery. It also urges agencies, survivors, and nonprofits to keep working together. That is a request, not an order. The month named runs from January 1 to February 1, 2026, ending on National Freedom Day. The Senate agreed to the resolution on February 10, 2026, after that window closed. The text cites several numbers. It puts victims worldwide at about 50 million, and forced-labor and trafficking revenue at $150 billion a year or more. It says the national hotline has logged 112,822 cases since 2007. It puts the average age of a child sex trafficking victim reported missing at 15.
